STRIKERS’ PREPARE
FOR A LONG SIEGE
Mechanics of Canadian Pacific Sct-
tlinf Down for Hard Fifkt, While
Officials Conliaue Policy of
lelicence as to Plans.
WIPERS PROMOTED TO BE FIREMEN
Winnipeg, Ang. 7.—A quiet prepara-
tion for a long siege by the men and
continued reticence regarding their
intentions locally are the features of
the Canadian Pacific strike situation
this evening. No men In large num-
bers have come into the city from eith-
er Bastern or Western points, al-
though rumors are rife that a large
contingent is due here tonight. Pick-
ets are guarding the entrances to the
shops and ail terminals, a number
of women have been placed at work
cleaning cars. Testing of cars is go-
ing on as usual, the work being done
by forement. Mass meetings wero
held today and addresses given in
their native tongue to Hungarians,
Germans and Russians.
Doesn’t Know of Other Strikes.
J. H. McVey was asked this after-
noon If the other organizations con-
nected with railroad work were likely
to go out soon. He replied:
"if they are going out very soon
I don’t know of It. If they went out
without notice they would be breaking
their iron-clad agreements.”
Wipers Made Firemen.
The Canadian Pacific yesterday pro-
moted to be firemen all who had been
serving In the local roundhouse as
wipers. The placing of these men
on engines means that a probable ex-
cuse for a strike on tho part of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen
has been removed.
When crops begin to move there
W’ill be a larger demand for engineers
and firemen than at present. In the
meantime the promoted wiper-firemen
have been placed on the "spare
board.” As men are required for road
work they will bo drawn from the
ranks of those whose names appear
on the spare list. Under present traf-
fic cpnditions many of the promoted
men may be obliged to wait perhaps
a full month before their services are
really required by the company. The
pay of the men will be nearly double
that which they received as wipers.
The company has been sending bed-
ding into the shops today.
No Suggestion of Settlement.
J. H. McVey tonight stated that
there had been no suggestion on the
part of the men toward approaching
the company with a proposal of settle-
ment. Neither had there been any
suggestion by the company that such
a suggestion would be entertained. At
Moose Jaw, on the Boo Line, Galacians
are being pressed into service by the
Canadian Pacific. The . bridge of the
river south of the shops was taken
up by the company. The reason of
this is to make it easier to defend the
shops in case of trouble. Last night
someone made an effort to buru the
bridge.
HELD TWO CONFERENCES DUR-
ING YE8TERDAY.
Result of Consultation on West Point
Hazing Case I* Kept Secret, But Is
Understood to Be Deadlocked—
Wright Wants Clemsncy, Scott Is
Against—Hitchcock Also a Visitor.
Oyster Bay, Aug. 7.—No definite in-
formation regarding the two confer-
ences In which the presidtnt engaged
at Sagamore Hill today could be
gained later from any of those who
participated.
Secretary Wright and Col. Hugh
L. Scott, superintendent of the West
Point academy, talked with the pres-
ident about the cases of tho eight ca-
dets recently suspended for hazing.
It is believed that the secretary main-
tained his earlier position that clem-
ency might be shown without violence
to military discipline; and that Col-
onel Scott held to his former and con-
trary opinion. The attitude of the
president has already been made
known and he is supposed to have
sought today a thorough exposition
of both sides of the matter, if a final
decision was reached it was scrupu-
lously withheld from tht newspapers
and wiii be announced pfohably from
the war department Monday.
National Republican Committee
Chairman Hitchcock discussed poli-
tics with the president earlier in the
day, but he too was non-committal
when seen later. He contented him-
self with saying that his conversation
with the president concerned politics
in general.
Notwithstanding the large number
of guests which he entertained during
the day the president did not fail to
have his usual quota of daily exer-
cise. The first arrival of the day was
welcomed by Mr. Roosevelt while tho
latter was in outing garments and
damp with the perspiration that sev-
eral hard sets at tennis had started.
DORR OUT ON BOND.
ALLEGED EMBEZZLER RELEASED
FROM JAIL
Bankrupt Broker 8ays Charge It Re-
sult of Vicious Attack of Creditor
Who Wanted to Be Preferred—Says
Action Should Have Been Civil In-
stead of Criminal.
8an Francisco, Aug. 7 — Frederick
Dorr, the stock broker with offices
here, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City,
Denver and other cities, who was ar-
rested at Los Angeles yesterday upon
a charge of embezzlement preferred by
Captaiu H. 11. Morwood, a client In
this city, arrived here today in custody
of Detective Grant Roberds of the Los
Angeles police department. He was
released on $10,000 bond given by
Harry N. Gray and \V. F. Porter. The
latter did uot arrive at police head-
quarters for some time, which forced
Dorr to spend an hour behind the bars
in the city prison.
In an interview Dorr said the case
properly was a civil and not a criminal
matter.
"it is a vicious attack by a man who
wishes preference over all other cred-
itors. My liabilities are between
$100,000 and $125,000. I havo not yet
had an opportunity to go over the
books. My seats upon the exchange In
New York and Chicago are alone
worth $90,000. I promised to settle
with my creditors upon an equitable
basis for all and favor none. I am
satisfied that when I get a chance to
go over the I woks and find out how
matters are, that everything will be
straightened out.”

CARDINAL GIBBONS MUCH BETTER
Got Up Yesterday and Thinks He Will
Be Able to Attend Vatican
Event Today.
Rome, Aug. 7.—Cardinal Gibbons,
who has been suffering for several
days with an intestinal trouble, was
so much better today that he was
able to get up and he thinks his con-
dition on Saturday will permit of his
going to the Vatican to present to
Pope Pius the canons of the Basilica
of St. Maria in Trastevorl, over which
the American prelate holds the title
of arch-priest. On August 15, As-
sumption Day, Cardinal Gibbons will
pontificate in that basilica.
Many persons called to inquire con-
cerning the health of his eminence,
and this afternoon Pope Pius sent
Signor Pjccuinelll, master of the |
house of the Apostolic Palace, to ob-
tain information as to the prelate's
condition. Signor Piculnelli afterward
said that the cardinal told him that
he considered himself entirely re-
covered.

have agreed to obey rather than risk
the loss of their positions.

have received many applications for
work. Tho strikers say only one man
was added to the force yesterday. It
is asserted on good authority that
within two weeks tho Canadian Pacific
telegraphers will threaten to strike.
Their struggle for better conditions
have gone parallel with the mechnnics
and their claims are now before a
conciliation board, which L, expected

Chicago. Aug. 7.—The Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe Railroad company
by Its counsel pleaded guilty to re-
bating today and was assessed a fine
of $7,000 by Judge Bethea in the Unit-
ed States district court. The govern-
ment, represented by District Attor-
ney Edwin W. Sims, proved that ft
bonus paid by the railroad to the Gar-
den City Sugar & Land company of
Garden City, Kas., was in effect a
rebate.
Tho railroad company, through Its
industrial department, offered the Gar-
den City concern a bonus of $50,000 for
locating on its line. This bonus was
to be paid fts froight was shipped and
a year ago the sugar and land com-
pany had paid $22,000 in freight
charged and had received $11,000 of
its bonus. It was by this arrange-
ment that the scheme came tinder the
ban of the interstate commerce and
Elkins laws. The decision does not.
It Is said, affect the paying of legiti-
mate bonuses to assist new^ industries.

Pittsburg. 'Aug. 7.—A voluntary ix>-
tttion In bankruptcy was filed after 8
p. m. In the United States court by
Attorney Charles Morschauser of New
York, representing Harry K. Thaw of
this city, who is now confined in the
Duchess county. New York, jail, in
the petition Thaw states that his as-
sets are $128,012.38 and his liabilities
$463,140.43.
Roger O'Mara, a well-known Pitts-
burg detective and personal friend of
the Thaws, was appointed as receiver.
His bond was placed at $200,000. and
John Newell and James W. Platt, two
prominent business men of this city,
became security for Mr. O'Mara.
Tho most interesting Information
given regarding the proceedings Is to
be found in the petition asking for
tho appointment of a receiver in which
it is alleged that tho action Is taken
for the purimse of preventing his
property being dissipated in litigation
over claims.
Tlie figures in the bankruptcy peti-
tion show that this refers to the law-
yers and doctors.
Thaw states that he is confined in
jail in Duchess county, New York, and
is likely to be there for some time.
He says some of his creditors have
commenced suits against him and oth-
ers are contemplating similar action.
He Is unable, he says, to give the liti-
gation his attention, owing to the con-
finement.
Loans amounting to $191,500 from
his mother, Mrs. William Thaw, are
not disputed.
Among the disputed claims are tho
following:
J. It. Gleason. New York. $80,000;

Your Uncle Samuel is strictly up

from an Arizona camp asking that an
incorrigible boy, 17 years old. who
can't “bo killed witli an ax, ’ be admit-

local army recruiting office:

Dear Sir: —
There is a man here who has a son
who he w I sites to enter the’ U. S. N.
The young man is 17 years of ago and
the father tells me he can: do any-
thing with him and he don't want the
hoy to grow up a criminal. Ho lias
been told that if he could get hint in
the navy it would be good trai ling and
the boy would amount to something.
The boy is small for his ago, lint you
couldn't kill him witli an ax and if lie
could only be enlisted it would be a
good thing both for the hoy and the
country. If he is allowed to tun
around the streets ho will soon be a
Territorial chai„e for the j ill.
Please give mo the requirements for
entrance to the navy and .vlnt physi-
cal examination Is necessary for en-
trance. I trust that we may be • uc-
cessful tu milking this go, for if tin-
entrance is difficult for to get him in
the navy. Awaiting an early reply I
am yours truly.
laical officials are torn by' conflict-
ing emotions. Should they say: "Out
obligation to the people will not allow
us to take so bad a boy,” or must they
in their pride declare: "Bring hint < ti.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y., Aug. 7.—H. K.
Thaw, when Interviewed in jail to-
night; regarding the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings instituted in Pittsburg, said
that he had already spent $2011,000
and that there are additional claims
amounting to $200,000 more. His as-
sets, he said, included $20,000 cash.
Continuing, Thaw said:
"It is a business necessity due to
the heavy expenses which I have been
under during a period of over two
years. Now i find additional bills and
claims, many of them exaggerated.
To pay these as they are presented
would entail tlie result that I could
not pay all, and some just creditors
would suffer. It is to prevent exactly
such injustice that the 'bankruptcy
laws were created, and I consider
that by becoming bankrupt 1 insure
justice to all.”

There will be no conventions held
later to ratify the selections of the
primary election nor to nominate can-
didates.
An exception to this application of
the law Is in the ease of the United
States senatorship. The legislature Is
to name the successor to Senator Al-
bert J. Hopkins and the vote at to-
morrow's primary will, for this one of-
fice, be merely of an advisory
character.
By far the most interesting contest

tween Governor diaries S. Denoen and
former Governor Richard Yates foi-
lin' nomination for governor. Tho
light has been intensely bitter on both
sides.
The loading candidates In tlie Dem-
ocratic party for tlie nomination for
governor are former Vice President
AJIai Stevenson of .Bloomington,
Douglass Patlison of Freeport, John
P. MeCorty, James 11. Lewis, Charles
E. Gunther ami James O. Monroe, all
of Chicago.
The candidates for United States
senator in the Republican party are AI
hart J. Hopkins, tlie present senator,
William K. Mason, the predecessor of
Senator Hopkins; George Edmund
Foss, present representative from tin;
Tenth district and W. (i. Webster of
Chicago.
The Democratic candidates are Law
retire B. Stringer of Lincoln and A,i-

In the Twenty fifth congressional
district eleven Republican candidates
have no opposition and eight Demo-
cratic candidates will also have a
walk-away for the nomination in their
parly.
Neither Hi,c Prohibition nor the So-
cialist parties will make nominations
for United States senator. The prohi-
bition candidate lor governor is Dan j
iel it. Sheen of l’eorla and tin- Social
1st candidate is J. 11. Brewer of Chi-
